What type m.2 and ram will work?

[Ninjajedi]

Hp, what type of m.2 drive and ram will be compatible with my 15-cx0056wm laptop. It is a Walmart Black Friday sale.  And I have removed the back cover and it does indeed have a m.2 slot and 2 ram slots so I would like to upgrade.

I see from your post that you need information and assistance related to upgrading RAM and SSD on your HP Pavilion 15 gaming laptop. Don't worry I'll be glad to assist you.

I did go through the Product specifications and found that your PC was shipped with 8 GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM (1 x 8 GB)  Memory and 1 TB 7200 rpm SATA Hard drive.

Please go through the Maintenance and Service guide of your notebook and here are few findings: 

Memory Module - Two non-customer-accessible/upgradable memory module slots - Hence it's not recommended to upgrade.

DDR4-2666 dual channel support (8750H/8300H processors)

DDR4-2400 dual channel support (8550U/8250U processors)

However, it Supports up to 16 GB of system RAM in the following configurations:

● 16384-MB total system memory (8192×2)

● 12288-MB total system memory (8192×1) + (4096×1)

● 8192-MB total system memory (8192×1) or (4096×2)

● 4096-MB total system memory (4096×1)

Next thing, regarding the SSD, there is a M.2 Slot available for SSD on your PC.
